More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
If today I have to make a political statement, it is, 'I love beauty.' I think beauty makes people better.
Marjane Satrapi
To tell you the truth, I never wanted to become a moviemaker. It was like I was a cinepihile, and I go, like, three or four times per week to the cinema, and I like to watch films.
Marjane Satrapi
There are things that I love in Iranian cinema and things that I don't. In Iranian cinema, you have to use metaphor because you are living under a dictatorship.
Marjane Satrapi
America is a very special place. In this country, you have the best and the worst at the same time. Whatever you can imagine.
Marjane Satrapi
It's always extremely interesting to speak at colleges. My books are taught in many colleges in America and are part of the educational system, so it's really important to me. I don't believe in so many things in life, but something I believe in is education.
Marjane Satrapi
If you have a little sensibility or a heart, you have all the reason to be depressed once in a while. But the depression is like a motor for creation. I need a little bit of depression, a bit of acid in my stomach, to be able to create. When I'm happy, I just want to dance.
Marjane Satrapi
I never wanted to make a graphic novel. As soon as you become a 'writer,' you have to be intelligent all the time... I like the fact that I have the right once in a while to say silly things.
Marjane Satrapi
Today, we don't talk about history. The past is two weeks ago, and the future is two weeks after.
Marjane Satrapi
People are so afraid to say the word comic. It makes you think of a grown man with pimples, a ponytail and a big belly. Change it to graphic novel and that disappears.
Marjane Satrapi
With animation, if something does not fit, you always have the time to change it. When you make a live-action movie, when your days of shooting are over, they are over forever.
Marjane Satrapi
I like to make mechanical stuff. Once I make a film I have to do whatever I can make onstage I make it onstage.
Marjane Satrapi
Hunger eats civilization. The West is not hungry that's why they can say they're so civilized. Civilization is the biggest bluff!
Marjane Satrapi
Maybe the biggest problem is that there's no empathy. Nobody puts themselves in the place of others. Everyone thinks they are the only one to suffer. Or that they're the only ones who like ice cream or take their kids on vacation.
Marjane Satrapi
I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily.
Marjane Satrapi
Image is an international language.
Marjane Satrapi
The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.
Marjane Satrapi
We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends.
Marjane Satrapi
A well-trained cat doesn't exist because a cat remains a cat.
Marjane Satrapi
Life is too short to be lived badly.
Marjane Satrapi
I was a child who had a life, who had hopes, and I wished that a bomb would not fall on my head.
